John 19:16-27 -- ”Woman, Behold, Your Son!”

John 19:16-27 -- The Third Word (Saying) of Jesus from the Cross

We move from Luke's Gospel to John's Gospel for the last of Jesus' three sayings before the three hours of darkness that fell upon the land.  (Afterward, for more sayings are recorded by the Gospel writers.)  In speaking to Mary (His mother), Jesus addresses her as "woman" and He entrusts her her to John (the disciple whom Jesus loved).
